Modern society of the twenty-first century drives a person into conditions that he cannot cope with on his own. This has a negative impact on psychological health individual. If a person is sufficiently impressionable, receptive, and vulnerable, then over time he may develop a state of apathy, and then depression and addiction. And the most effective thing that can help in such a situation is psychotherapeutic assistance.
The easiest way to help a patient is not in the early stages of the disease, when he only shows the first symptoms of depression: frequent mood swings, apathy and indifference to the entire world around him, daily anger, attacks of aggression. These are already the first urges to someone who needs help, even if he himself does not realize it or denies it.
Such a concept as “psychotherapy” arose on the basis of connecting sciences - psychology and psychiatry. From each of them, this industry learned the basic theories, systems, and developments of researchers and experimenters. But the principles, methods and methods of treatment in psychotherapy are completely unique.
Psychotherapeutic assistance is to rid a person of addiction, voluntarily or forcibly. This type of treatment is selected individually for each patient, since the object with which the doctor works is not an organ or part of the body, but the human mind. The doctor needs to influence a person’s subconscious in all available ways.
Psychotherapeutic assistance can be:
- Group. This type of treatment involves bringing people with the same problems together into one group for more effective treatment. The emphasis here is on the relationships between group members, their interaction and helping each other.
- Individual. This type of therapy is used when the disease is at a severe stage or the patient has strong resistance. The doctor carefully studies the causes and problems of the disease and selects an individual approach to the patient.
- Rational. This type of psychotherapy is used for initial stages diseases. They help a person rethink his way of life, his relationship with the world around him, learn a lesson and understand how to live correctly.
- Sugestive. In other words, this is hypnosis. With its help, the human mind “restarts” and gets rid of harmful thoughts, habits, and preferences. The mind is influenced by the power of words.
- Gestalt therapy. A philosophical approach to getting rid of psychological diseases. With its help, a person gains his integrity.
- Color therapy. Type of non-traditional psychotherapeutic assistance. Specialists select a color in which the patient feels comfortable. He lives in a room that suits him. Some experts believe that this has a beneficial effect on people's subconscious.
These are only the most basic types of psychotherapy. And only after a thorough examination, the doctor selects it individually for each patient.
Also in psychotherapy there are several methods on which all treatment is based:
The first method is cognitive behavioral therapy. It helps to determine the reasons for the patient’s abnormal behavior and learn about all psychological traumas and disorders. Then the patient is taught to look at the world differently and independently find a way out of difficult situations.
Second method - interpersonal or interpersonal treatment. Very effective for social phobias and those who do not know how to live and survive in modern world. This therapy teaches the patient to interact with other people, to feel comfortable among large quantity of people.
Next, existential method, allows the client to rethink his life, understand what his mistake is and learn a lesson. The patient learns to take responsibility for his actions.
Fourth method psychodynamic treatment helps the patient leave negative, painful situations and memories in the past and start living with a clean slate.
And last, client-centered method - This individual treatment. The doctor must enter the patient's circle of trust, become his friend and advisor, in order to easily influence the subconscious and actions.
Providing psychotherapeutic assistance

It has long been known that psychotherapeutic help is periodically necessary for the majority of absolutely healthy people. It is difficult to find a person who is unfamiliar with the feeling of fear, difficulty controlling one’s own behavior, depressive states, low self-esteem. Much has been experienced personally, or is familiar from the example of others. But in most cases, qualified help is not often sought, since strong individuals are able to solve the problem on their own. However, even such people have situations that are not easy to cope with alone. In this case, the help of a psychotherapist who uses a wide range of methods and techniques is very helpful.
It should be emphasized that psychotherapeutic assistance is extremely multifaceted, so it is impossible to name problems that would be beyond its power. People are suffering various dependencies, depression, neurotic disorders, have personal problems, and this is only a small part of the indications for psychotherapeutic sessions. In addition, psychotherapeutic assistance is highly effective in a number of cases. psychosomatic diseases, for example, when hypertension, dermatology, endocrine disorders, chronic pain syndromes, dermatological and gastroenterological disorders, and in many other cases.
Each voiced problem has its own solution, and psychotherapy will find the right option. It is known that this method treatment is divided into its main approaches, and each of them has its own characteristics and characteristic differences. For example, when used in psychotherapy systematic approach the action is focused on marriage, partnership, family, certain groups that are accepted as independent organisms. It is understood that they have their own history, stages of development, an integral system consisting of internal patterns in the presence of dynamics and holistic orientation. The humanitarian approach is aimed at rethinking existing life experience.
Providing psychotherapeutic assistance to a patient also includes such an item as teaching a person the correct skills to control emotions and thinking. Currently, the science of psychotherapy includes approximately four hundred and eighty known psychotherapeutic techniques, so the choice is huge. Psychotherapeutic assistance can be provided not only using a specific method, but also a combined approach is used. As a rule, psychotherapy is carried out as a separate method of treatment, but if necessary it is supplemented using medicinal methods. It depends on the task and the purpose of the impact.
When providing psychotherapeutic assistance, the doctor always chooses a course for the patient individually, and such treatment cannot be applied to another person, since there are so many different personal details. It can be assumed that two patients have similar problem, for example, suffer from low self-esteem. However, the therapy will still have significant differences, since this problem has completely different origins. To choose the right treatment method, one consultation is enough for a specialist. Based on the conversation with the person and all available information, the psychotherapist chooses the most effective approach that is effective in this case.
Types of psychological assistance can have different directions.

Basically, psychotherapeutic methods are aimed at directly solving deep-seated personal problems. Psychotherapy also distinguishes between clinical and non-clinical methods.
When applying any type of psychotherapeutic assistance, the specialist views the patient not as seriously ill, but simply as a person with a different worldview. Therefore, medications are used very limitedly, that is, treatment is carried out precisely psychotherapeutically. Initially, the psychotherapist seeks to restore the norm, defined as emotional state, and personal characteristics of a person. Psychotherapeutic assistance can be a crisis intervention, when it is needed immediately, or it can be carried out as planned, in the form of psychological training, which is mainly preventive measure. Scientists argue that it is impossible to make a strict distinction between the types of psychological assistance provided, since there are areas of overlap that are difficult to define.
As in other areas of activity, when providing psychological assistance, a number of professional requirements are presented to a specialist, and their implementation is mandatory. There are specific ethical codes associated with the work of a psychotherapist. It is known that there are no simple and unambiguous solutions applicable to moral and ethical issues arising in psychotherapeutic practice.

Traditionally, a friendly attitude towards patients is in the foreground, which involves a comprehensive professional behavior providing the client with comfort and confidence. A person should have no doubt that he will receive psychotherapeutic assistance.
